Buffalo is the 2nd best team in the AFC

[VW82]

Too early for this. It took a Herculean Josh Allen game (best ind performance of the year?) at home in the snow to overcome a team with a putrid defense, and even then we got a little lucky in the 4th with unexpected turnovers, pick six, etc. 

 

This team is very likely fraudulent. That doesn’t mean we can’t come out of the AFC but we could also very easily get bounced in WC.

You have beaten the Giants, Saints, Jets, Titans, and Falcons.

 

You beat Miami Week 2 when they were an utter mess. 

 

You beat the Bengals when they were missing not just Joe Burrow but Jamar Chase as well. 

 

You beat Tampa who was missing their entire offense minus Baker and he was on one leg.

 

You got a quality beat down of the Panthers early in the season  when they were a disaster. 

 

You have a quality last second field goal win against Buffalo who was missing half their defense and spotted you three turnovers. 

 

You have losses against the Raiders and Steelers like all teams have terrible losses this year. The difference between New England and all other contenders? 

 

You haven't played the Chargers, Broncos, Chiefs, Texans, healthy Bengals squad, Ravens, Jaguars, healthy Colts team, Packers, Bears, Lions, Eagles, Cowboys, Niners, Rams, and seahawks. 

 

Right now your schedule outside the Bills Buccaneers, Panthers, and Dolphins is all teams picking in the bottom 10 of the draft. 

 

Buccaneers and Panthers are one and done playoff teams. Dolphins are going to fire their coach in the offseason and Bills lead the league in man games lost on defense and you were the biggest benefactor of those injuries along with the Falcons. 

 

Congrats New England. Playoffs don't lie. 

Well said. 
I challenge this NE fan to ask any neutral fan which scenario they would prefer:

play NE in NE or host the Bills? See what the answer is to that question.

I say we pool our talents and execute a Bills Mafia denial of service attack on the Patriots message board

[BillytheKid]

You have the easiest strength of schedule and the 2nd worst strength of victories compared to every other team in playoff contention. 
 

We will see how you do this weekend playing a focused Bills team who has your game circled. Won’t be like the last game where the Bills played like they just got out of bed.

Yeah, sorry, that's just flat out wrong. 

 

Neither turnover was a turnover. An unforced error. A mistake by a Bengal.

 

Both plays were TAKE AWAYS. on both occasions the Bills defender may a play on the ball and forced the mistake. This was done by....ready for it....GOOD PLAY. There was no "luck" in it. They won the down with solid fundamentals and took the ball away. 

 

But keep making more excuses to down play the victory.

That Bengals team when they have Chase, Higgins, and Burrow is the best offense in the NFL. 

 

True their defense is awful but im not gonna roast a Bills defense team for struggling against this Bengals offense when they were missing Bernard, Bosa, and ed Oliver. All players will have back in the playoffs. Bills are a MASH unit every week on defense. Maybe it will continue to be so. If the Bills do get healthy on defense though....

THOSE 4 teams- Bills, Patsies, Broncos, Texans are the only quality teams left in the AFC. The old guard (Chiefs, Bungles, Ravens) have fallen on their swords!
 

I absolutely fear the Texans- not the other 3. They whipped the Bills’ arse with that ferocious, best in the NFL D! Their QB and O talent are so so, but that D?

At least- formidable.

 

Do you know the record of Kermit & Josh v.s. that D this year?

 

0 TDs

SIX TURNOVERS!

 

Fierce.

 

Putting that aside, I heard Capaccio this morning, talking about how neutral he is from game to game as some callers were complaining that Bills fans (like me) are negative even in cool comeback victories like yesterday.

 

Thought about that.

 

Perhaps, it is because all the bad twists and turns of bad Bills fortune going back to ‘Ronnie ***** Harmon’ are rolled into one. 
Perhaps, it is the record of non SB success or even getting there under McD goes back to ‘13 seconds’.
 

I think it is more about Allen and the supreme annoyance we find with time slipping through the hourglass for the greatest athlete in Buffalo sports history, one of the greatest players in NFL history and ditto for QBs. A total freak of nature, with soooo many weird, freakish records involving the highly unusual combo of throwing the ball AND running the ball at a super elite level.

 

A commenter during the game yesterday, said that 17 must put on his cape every freaking time,to overcome the deficiencies of McDs woeful D, Brady’s average OC calls and Beanbrain’s inexcusable intransigence to help him in the Draft! 
 

It absolutely is that!

 

I like to think back to the GOAT- Brady. Sure, his unbelievable success was based on tremendous ability to think and do the right things at the right times. But, Brady was no Josh Allen. 17s talent is at least generational, maybe half century.

 

BUT, BUT, BUT… when Brady scored, he NEVER, EVER had to worry whether his D was going to allow the opposition to race down the ***** field and score in 30 seconds… immediately thereafter.

 

AS HAPPENED YESTERDAY!

And many other yesterdays, including most of the critical playoff game losses.

 

Those Patsies Ds were miles better than ANY of these Bills Ds. They actually tackled, blitzed successfully and were closer than 5 yards away from WRs.

 

Brady never worried about that.

Allen MUST worry about that, every time!

 

That is the fundamental difference here.

 

There is great opportunity here, because the AFC opposition stalwarts are all likely to be out. But, until that pathetic D gets better, Allen needs 5 TDs many games to secure a W.
